January 1st, 2011 is a big deal when it comes to high school and college baseball. It was said that the new standards in baseball bats, BBCOR would change the game forever. Some like it because it will teach players proper mechanics when batting and overall it teaches them to be well rounded athletes. But you also have the other side who do not like the change. For one, they’ll miss the “ping” sound that bats make and the other concern would be the cost. Here’s more information about the new BBCOR rules…

The Batted Bat Coefficient of Restitution measures the liveliness of the ball off the bat. The goal is to reduce the “trampoline effect” for aluminum and composite bats.
With high school baseball to begin in about a month, players and coaches are facing three issues — cost of the new bats, availability and a change in how the game will be played.
On average, new BBCOR composite bats cost between $200 and $300. A top-of-the-line composite bat can go as high as $400.
What doesnt’ make sense to us is, why pay over $300 for a BBCOR bat that doesn’t out perform a wood bat. For the price of a top of the line BBCOR bat, you can get as many as 5 new maple wood bats.
Enter the Elite Pro Maple Wood Bat. This bat comes from the same factory as bats made for David Ortiz, Vladimir Guerrero, Miguel Tejada and Robinson Cano. The Elite Pro Maple Wood Bat is certified and is handmade in the USA.
